CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If you're a dedicated home handyperson, chances are that your first lessons came from Dad. For generations, fathers have passed down plumbing, woodworking and tinkering tips by tackling home improvement projects side-by-side with their sons and daughters.

In honor of Father's Day, we want to highlight the best home improvement projects completed by fathers (or father figures) and their kids working together. Describe the project in 150 words or less, and send us a photograph of the project. Your information and photo may be published on cleveland.com and the print edition of The Plain Dealer.

This opportunity is open to readers of any age.

Here's what to do: Email your information to jwashington@plaind.com. Please be sure that your letter includes the name, age, city, daytime phone and email address for both the son or daughter and father. Your phone and email address will not be published.

Attach a digital photo of the project to the same email, and tell us who is in the picture if applicable. Hand-written information and film photographs will not be accepted.

The deadline for entries is Monday, June 2. Entries will be posted on cleveland.com during the week of June 8.
